About this activity

If you're looking for a fun and exciting family day out in Devon, then look no further than Crownhill Fort. This historic fort, located just a short distance from Plymouth, is the perfect place to explore with the whole family, and offers a range of attractions and activities that will keep everyone entertained for hours.

Crownhill Fort was built in the 1860s to defend the city of Plymouth and the surrounding area against possible invasion. It was part of a network of forts built around the coast of the UK during this time, and was designed to house a garrison of soldiers, as well as the latest in military technology. Today, the fort has been restored and is open to the public as a museum and heritage attraction.

One of the main reasons why Crownhill Fort is such a great place to visit with the family is that there's something for everyone. For the history buffs in the family, there's a fascinating museum that tells the story of the fort and its role in defending the area. You can explore the various buildings and see artefacts and exhibits that bring the history to life.
